Room good size, close to the castle , cathedral and other attractions, lift. The only thing in the evening it is very dark outside and I felt insecure . And another minus- the left luggage kept in the lobby/ nonstick room. I would not like to leave my luggage like this . ##### Elena Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SUM KIN 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended! Amazing hotel with five-star hospitality. The reception staff are all very friendly and they gave us unlimited refill of water and soda drinks given the hot weather. ##### SUM KIN Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An genuine boutique hotel, the staff couldnt of been more helpful. The breakfasts are outstanding and gluten free can be accommodated if you let them know in advance. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending porta di castro for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ye 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff working there are very friendly and helpful.

As a group, the nicest staff I have ever experienced. The room was extraordinarily clean. Location was excellent near the cathedral. Lots of motorbikes but with the windows closed not much of an issue. Plus the food in Parma is better than the food where you are including the breakfast at the hotel which was a feast of Sicilian fruits and charcuterie. ##### rodney Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas 10 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best hotel i stayed at in italy.
